The rest I’m happy to leave to the realm of opinion!

Tue, 14 Mar 2017 12:55:02 +0000http://labour-uncut.co.uk/?p=21430#comment-689566Lots of analysis, but very little in the way of positive suggestions. Except that Labour should some how appeal to the remain voters. The only problem with this is that a) they are a minority of voters, b) the Lib Dems have already claimed some of them and even if we won them over it still would not be a majority.

In the mean time the third of Labour voters who voted leave will drift either to non-voting or UKIP. Which means that our share of the polls/votes slips even further.

It is a difficult position, but Labours only realistic hope is a) accept the decision of the referendum (which will retain & attract leave voters), whilst b) arguing for the best possible deal in the negotiations (which will keep and attract remain voters). The fact that the Tories & May won’t compromise (by-the-way an astounding piece of analysis of Tory thinking) should not sway us from that path.

The drop of the vote forUkip in Copeland reminds me of saying how good it was that the SDP vote dropped in London in 1987′ without twigging that the vote all then went to the Tories

The 25% labour 10% libdems and 10other are all remain are they,well apart from the fact that 40% of Scots voted leave, and if every Scottish person who voted Ukip voted leave that assumes every Scots Tory in 2015 voted leave too,where clearly some Scottish Tories voted remain,so Some Scottish labour voted Leave too, QED
Then there’s the fact that of the 10% who according to your statistics don’t vote for the main 4 parties, there’s plenty of greens who voted leave 4 in my Left leave campaign last year, or DUP/UUP, SDLP /Plaid voted leave too
And then you forget 37% of labour voters voted leave
